I don't think it was built by Ruf from reading the spec.
Very interesting car though, bet it is super fast!!

That turbo placement and exhaust/intake routing is a thing of beauty. Dang!

Wow. That is one of the finest examples I've ever seen for a race 951. 45K is a deal.

Awesome, sort of reminds me of the 9ff twin turbo system. Ford throttle body, that sounds familiar?

With the work that obviously went into that car, it kind of makes you wonder why they never took the time to at least match the white paint.

On a side note, anyone ever seen it in person. I'm in Dallas (same as RUF) and I've never seen it at the track. Anyone else? And I wonder who built it. Circle Perf built the engine.

Hmmmm, might have to take a trip up to RUF and take a look at this one.

Why is my wife's blue plastic container with old baby clothes back there next to the swimming pool filter?


Where does that clothes dryer line go to, anyway?


In all seriousness guys, this looks like K-mart on wheels.

ST, my comment was in regards to the important parts of this build, not the shell.

I know.
I wasn't commenting on yours or anyone else's post.

Just my opinion of that car.

....And look at the lines riding right over the turbine housing.

....And all that work on the TB, for what is SURELY a LOSS in performance.

I'll stop now.
